However, 18 year olds are far more dependable to make informed, rational decisions about relationships than 16 year olds. The two years does make a big difference. And even if they can't at that point in time, they are adults and they should begin to take responsibility for themselves at this point anyway.

First of all, you are a 14-year-old whose internet handle is "Orgasmic Child." Something tells me you might make easy prey for a 17-year-old guy.

***RIGHT ON!!!

With an 11 year old daughter at home, something tells me you need to have your computer taken away and learn to respect yourself a lot more. I'm sure Mom and Dad know all about your internet name, right? Dad must be especially proud.

But then I laugh when you kids get pregnant at 16, drop out of school, and blame the world for your problems. Besides Mom and Dad can always raise your baby, right?

Im only 16 and my bf is 18,ive more sense than he does so I really dont think age matters,once you both love each other then why should age stop you?

Because you never really know for sure (especially at such a young age) if you're truly in mutually loving relationship or not until either A) it ends (i.e. no) or B) many years down the road when you're still together (i.e. yes). By the way, to any who are wondering...no, ten months is not equivalent to many years down the road.

However, the illusion of love is a very useful tool for older predatory males who like to go for the impressionable young girls.

Or maybe you get lucky and you end up in love, which results in a long, happy marriage.

Who knows? Love's a gamble, anyway. But do you really need to put all your chips on the table at 14?
